I am feeling so much better now. I used to do airbrush art and you can tell a true airbrush artist by the color of their sneeze. Not that it's healthy.

Water = good. I think you're right that we artists tend to hurt ourselves because we're too distracted by our art. While attending art school, I had to go to the emergency room because I'd managed to slice the tip of my finger off with an x-acto while completing finals project. When I told the doctor how I'd cut myself, his response was, "oh, you must go to that art school." Since then I've felt that doctors should be able to specialize in "art medicine" - cuts from x-actos, inhaling too many toxic fumes without adequate venthilation, accidental ingestion of poisonous pigments, paper cuts, etc., etc. :) So glad you’re feeling better.
